Bob - a couple of years ago I happened on a nice used Ruger Number One in .375 H&H. Was pleasantly surprised on the first trip to the range to find that it didn't recoil harshly at all. The recoil was more like a big push. I even shoot it from prone with no problems.
The .375's tend to be accurate too. I was impressed with the groups I was getting downrange, and the bear 300 yards distant was very much impressed when the Nosler struck him dead.
I think you're going to enjoy that .375 Ruger. The African is a particularly appealing rifle.
